- Reader M.: “Can’t remember if I asked you this. I’m sure you and everyone else here has read a book and then have gone back to reread it and it’s not the same. Seems to be no word in the English language for that experience.” — I have that experience with books all the time…but I am not aware of a word for it! If there isn’t one, it might be time to come up with something! Ideas from the Clamor?
- A different Reader M.: “The link to the proofreader of the NY Times made my day, and I am actually jealous that he has time for that. I would hang out with him for sure.” — He typifies a certain kind of quality curmudgeon I’ve always admired: obsessive, independent, and honed. Though I will, sadly, never have the chops to be one!
